There are very few moments in the property market when a genuinely exciting new development arrives in exactly the right location. Hafan y Glyn is one of those moments.
WPV Homes is proud to introduce Hafan y Glyn, a limited collection of three and four bedroom detached homes set in an exceptional coastal location in Colwyn Bay, Conwy. Thoughtfully designed, beautifully finished and built to WPV Homes’ exacting standards, these homes offer something that is increasingly rare in North Wales: a brand new property in an already established, sought-after area, within easy reach of the coast, the mountains and everything in between.
Whether you are upsizing, relocating to North Wales, or searching for your forever home, Hafan y Glyn deserves your full attention.
What Does Hafan y Glyn Mean?
The name Hafan y Glyn is Welsh, translating roughly as Haven of the Valley. It is a name that captures something of the character of this development: sheltered, settled, and surrounded by natural beauty. Wales has a long tradition of naming places with poetry, and Hafan y Glyn lives up to that tradition from the moment you arrive.
The Homes
Hafan y Glyn offers two distinct house types, each named after some of the most iconic peaks in Wales.
Tryfan is a three bedroom detached home available from £394,950. Named after the distinctive peak in the Ogwen Valley, it combines a generous open plan kitchen and dining area with a spacious living room, two bathrooms including an en-suite, and a single garage. It is ideally suited to couples, young families or those looking to downsize without compromising on space or quality.
Snowdon is a four bedroom detached home available from £474,950. Named after the highest peak in Wales, it offers all the space and versatility a growing family could need: four bedrooms, two bathrooms including an en-suite, an open plan kitchen and dining area, a spacious living room and a single garage. These are homes built for real life, with the kind of flexible, well-proportioned rooms that adapt as your needs change.
Both house types are finished to WPV Homes’ high specification, with quality throughout that you can see and feel from the moment you step through the door. As a local house builder, WPV Homes prioritises craftsmanship and personal service over scale, building homes and communities that feel genuinely connected to the places in which they sit.
Full specification details are available to download from the WPV Homes website, and the team is always happy to walk you through what is included at every stage.
An Exceptional Location
Location is everything in property, and Hafan y Glyn gets it right in every direction.
Colwyn Bay sits on the North Wales coast between Llandudno and Rhyl, with the Irish Sea to the north and the hills of the Conwy Valley rising to the south. It is a town with genuine character, a working seaside community with independent shops, cafes, restaurants and a growing food scene, all set against a backdrop of sweeping coastal views.
From Hafan y Glyn, the beach and promenade are around a twenty minute walk. By car, you can be at Rhos-on-Sea in minutes, in Llandudno in under fifteen, or exploring the walled medieval town of Conwy in a similar time. For those who need to travel further, the A55 expressway, which links Chester to Holyhead via the entire North Wales coast, is just four minutes from the development. Manchester and Liverpool are both accessible within around an hour, making Hafan y Glyn a genuine option for those who work in the North West but want to enjoy the quality of life that North Wales offers.
Food, Drink and Dining
One of the first things people notice when they move to the Colwyn Bay area is just how good the food scene has become. Independent cafes, welcoming pubs and quality restaurants can be found within easy walking distance of Hafan y Glyn, and the wider area has plenty more to explore.
One of the standout local destinations is Porth Eirias, the celebrated beach restaurant on the promenade at nearby Rhos-on-Sea, headed up by acclaimed Welsh chef Bryn Williams. Eating local food prepared by local chefs with the Irish Sea stretching out in front of you is hard to beat. Llandudno and Conwy both add further options, from relaxed bistros to fine dining, and the independent spirit of the region means there is always something new to discover.
Schools and Education
For families with children, the school provision around Hafan y Glyn is a significant draw. Colwyn Bay is central to a wide range of primary and secondary schools recognised for their quality, including Ysgol Bod Alaw, Eirias High School, St Joseph’s R.C. Primary School and Ysgol Nant y Groes. Welsh-medium provision is strong across the area, reflecting the living language that remains central to community life in this part of Wales.
Perhaps most notably, Rydal Penrhos School, the prestigious Grade II listed independent day school, has its main campus located almost on the doorstep of Hafan y Glyn. For families considering independent education, this proximity to one of Wales’ most respected schools is an exceptional advantage.
Things to Do
Living in Hafan y Glyn means having one of the most varied and rewarding regions in Britain right on your doorstep. North Wales is a destination that draws visitors from across the UK and beyond, and as a resident, all of that becomes simply part of everyday life.
In Colwyn Bay itself, highlights include:
- The Welsh Mountain Zoo, home to big cats, snow leopards, penguins, crocodiles and much more, and one of the finest conservation zoos in Wales
- Colwyn Bay beach and promenade, ideal for morning walks, evening strolls and everything in between
- Theatr Colwyn, a grand art deco cinema that shows current releases in a wonderfully characterful setting
- Porth Eirias and the broader restaurant and cafe scene along the seafront
Beyond Colwyn Bay, the possibilities are genuinely vast. Conwy Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a short drive away. Snowdonia National Park offers some of the finest walking, cycling and climbing in the UK. The coastline stretches in both directions with beautiful beaches, headlands and harbours to explore. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, a foodie, a culture lover or simply someone who values space and fresh air, North Wales delivers in abundance.
Shopping and Everyday Convenience
Day-to-day living at Hafan y Glyn is thoroughly convenient. Colwyn Bay town centre has a good range of independent shops and the Bay View Shopping Centre catering for everyday needs, along with two supermarkets in town. Further supermarket options, including major chains, can be found at the nearby Llandudno Junction retail park, making the weekly shop straightforward wherever your preferences lie.
A Limited Collection
It is worth being clear about one thing: Hafan y Glyn is a limited collection of homes. This is not a large-scale estate development. WPV Homes builds with intention, and the relatively small number of properties available here is part of what makes the development feel special. New homes in this part of Colwyn Bay, at this standard of build and specification, in a location this well connected, do not come along often.
If you have been considering a move to North Wales, or if you have been searching for a new build home in this part of the coast, Hafan y Glyn is almost certainly the best opportunity currently available. We would encourage you not to leave it too long before making an enquiry.
